Comment(by caesarsgrunt):

 I don't like the concept of a separate "trash" top level menu. I prefer
 the UI I have implemented in my patches, where "deleted" is just another
 status - that seems to make most sense to me. Anything else would seem odd
 and be hard to use, in my opinion.

 I don't see the need for an "empty all trashes" button either - comments
 and posts (for example) are separate in almost all respects, and I don't
 see why they should be bunched together in this one respect.

 I hadn't thought about deleting comments on posts which are deleted, but
 of course you are right that it would have to be done.[[BR]]
 I think the best thing here would be simply to not show comments on
 deleted posts in the comments admin panel, and then when the post is
 actually ''destroyed'', destroy the comments too.
